Have you heard of the crazy story of the dead birds falling from the sky on New Year's eve. I have been worried maybe this the fallout from the British Petroleum explosion. But so far, The Autopsy conducted on the Blackbirds by the Arkansas Dept. of Fish and Wildlife concluded that the birds had suffered multiple blunt force traumas in flight. And, the story gets more strange. Thousands of dead drum fish washed up along a 20-mile stretch close to the area of the dead birds. So what is going on?http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2011/jan/04/apocalypse-mystery-bird-deaths-louisiana
Ok, I am sorry this is not much of a dairy. Frankly, I just needed a distraction from doing my work today and wanted to discuss this story. So I am also looking for more information. But I will also add what is being said right now about this via Twitter:

Apocalypse now? Mystery bird deaths hit Louisiana
Hundreds of blackbirds fall from sky over Louisiana, days after similar phenomenon in neighbouring Arkansas
Birds dropping dead from the skies and rivers flowing with tens of thousands of dead fish sounds like a cheesy Hollywood movie about the Apocalypse. Or the ravings of a Revelation-obsessed street preacher.
But residents of several US states are coping with the reality of mystery mass wildlife deaths, which have left officials scratching their heads and jumpy members of the public joking (nervously) about the end of the world.
Today it emerged that about 500 red-winged blackbirds and starlings had been found dead in Louisiana. Their tiny corpses littered a short stretch of highway near the city of Labarre after apparently falling dead from the sky.
That would be spooky enough. But the Louisiana bird die-off came just a few days after up to 5,000 blackbirds fell to earth in neighbouring Arkansas in the small town of Beebe. Residents there had reported stumbling upon the bodies littering the ground and even being hit by them as they fell. One woman said she was struck while walking a dog. Another avian corpse bounced off a police car.
